NEW COLOR

SOOO I changed the color, the hood and the side skirts.. thoughts on it? here is the full transformation of my 135 from 11/7/14 to this past weekend 12/5/14 for the festivals of speed show in Orlando, Florida. Here is what the car looked like going into the shop.







after getting into a little rear end accident on I-4 i took the car to Carbon Wraps in Orlando to talk to them about changing the wrap and what they could do to to make this car stand out and be the sickest 135i in Orlando FL. here is the full transformation. They decided to take apart the whole car and do the wrap that way.













I had the wheels off so I thought to myself way not change that color as well, so off to the powder coating guy i went.They are Forgestar wheels
18x8.5 front / 18x10 rear



here they are sandblasted haha



and so the wrap begins













I also went a head and picked up a new hood





about the time the wheels were done so on the car they went for some pics





after it was all said and done the car was put back together by the guys at Auto Tuning House in Orlando and was able to leave here are some of the first pics of the car all together.













all in all I am one Happy customer and will refer anybody that is looking to get anything wrapped and I mean ANYTHING to go to them. Super helpful and great guys to work on you're car, also Auto Tuning House for doing all the uninstalls and installs of the doors, hood, side skirts, the fresh oil change, and pretty much anything i needed done to the car they did a great job with it. Tuner Empire also helped out on this build. These companies are great and I stand behind them 100%. Just one regular custom's review of the shops. Here are there Facebook companies if y'all need anything in the orlando area

His headlights make me want to design a third pair with amber or yellow angel eyes.

Looks like they did a thorough job!
How did you do the M-stripes on your grille?
Mine are just a strip of vinyl on the front of the slat but it looks like your whole slat is coloured.

will you need to update your registration to reflect the proper color? i understand it might be different for every state. i was just curious since i've seen people get in trouble (multiple tickets) when the registered color does not match the car's current color.
